[Marriage first, love later] She is happy after marrying a widower

Song Yanzhi sat in the carriage, pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the movements outside, her expression focused and alert. Sure enough, after a while, she vaguely heard noisy sounds coming from outside.

The sound was relatively quiet at first, like someone arguing in low voices, but gradually it became louder and noisier.

She frowned, a bad premonition welling up in her heart. She immediately lifted the curtain and walked quickly outside. When she looked, she saw that their convoy had been surrounded by people in three layers.

The scene was much more chaotic than before, and the number of people who gathered around was much greater than before. It was a sea of ​​people, which made people feel uneasy just by looking at it.

"Where's the master?"

Song Yanzhi was extremely anxious. She quickly stood on tiptoe and anxiously searched the crowd. After looking around, she did not see Han Heming. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat and she became more worried.

"The master took Hu Zi and Uncle Quan out."

The maid beside her hurriedly replied, with a hint of nervousness in her voice. After all, the situation outside was really too bad.

"Okay, go call Lanshan over."

Song Yanzhi made a prompt decision and quickly instructed Baoqin who was beside her.

This time, she knew very well the origins of those troublemakers, and she also knew that they had taken her group as trapped. In that case, she did not intend to be polite anymore. If these people still did not know what was good for them and continued to make trouble, she would not mind killing them to ensure everyone's safety.

Lan Shanben was in a tense confrontation with the people. He was holding a weapon, with a serious face and vigilance in his eyes. He didn't dare to relax at all. He was concentrating on staring at the emotional people in front of him when he heard Baoqin say that Song Yanzhi was looking for him. He didn't dare to delay and hurried over.

"Madam, what do you want me to do for you?" Lan Shan asked respectfully as he arrived in front of her. He stood straight, looking like he was ready to follow orders at any time.

Song Yanzhi's face was solemn, her eyes filled with determination. She spoke in a cold and serious tone, "Be prepared. If these people continue to disobey us, they will be killed without mercy. We cannot allow them to act so recklessly and endanger everyone's lives. When necessary, we must not be soft-hearted."

"Yes, ma'am." Lanshan nodded without hesitation. He knew in his heart that the situation was critical and there was no room for hesitation. He had to obey ma'am's orders and protect the safety of the convoy.

After Song Yanzhi gave instructions to Lanshan, she quickly walked towards the carriage where her two daughters were. She first asked someone to bring Erwa, Sanwa and Song Minze over. She thought to herself that the situation outside was so chaotic, she had to gather all the children together before she could feel at ease.

Then, she asked someone to check on Da Wa out of worry. Da Wa was already a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old. He was strong and brave by nature. In addition, he also practiced some martial arts on weekdays. So when faced with such a scene, he was not afraid at all. He also thought that if there was any danger, he would do his part.

This carriage was not very soundproof, and the noisy noise outside had already woken up several children.

The two daughters were still young, with their big, innocent eyes wide open and bewildered faces. They had no idea what was happening outside. They were just frightened by the sudden noise and were a little at a loss. They pouted their little mouths and almost cried.

After all, Erwa, Sanwa and Song Minze have experienced more things and are no longer as panic-stricken as they were when they first experienced those dangerous things.

Song Minze was the youngest. He snuggled tightly in Madam Liu's arms, his little hands tightly grasping Madam Liu's sleeves. His little face was tense and serious, but there was a stubbornness in his eyes, as if he was trying to make himself appear braver.

When Song Yanzhi saw Madam Liu bringing Zege over, and seeing his serious yet trying hard to be strong face, her nervousness eased a little. She couldn't help but smile and asked softly, "Is Zege scared?"

Ze Ge's body trembled slightly, as if he was frightened by Song Yanzhi's words, but he quickly reacted and said loudly: "Ze Ge is not afraid, my aunt is here, and she will protect me."

The little person had an exceptionally loud voice, and seemed particularly confident in the noisy carriage. Her adorable and brave appearance made the maids and old women around her feel fondly for her.

"Well, you are worthy of being the children of my Song family. Are Erwa and Sanwa scared?" Song Yanzhi looked at Erwa and Sanwa again, her eyes full of concern. These two children are older and braver than their younger brothers and sisters, but they are still children after all, so she is still a little worried.

"Mother, we are not afraid. We will protect you and my brothers and sisters."

The second and third children spoke in unison, their childish voices revealing a firmness and their eyes full of courage, as if they had really grown up to be adults who could protect their families, which made people feel both relieved and distressed.

"Okay." Song Yanzhi nodded with relief.

Seeing these children show no fear at all, Song Yanzhi's heart finally settled down. After all, ever since embarking on this long and arduous journey, her biggest worry had been whether these young children could withstand the fatigue and the unknown risks they might encounter.

Song Yanzhi gently waved her hand, signaling the maids and servants beside her to quickly fetch some delicious food and interesting toys for the children. After everything was arranged, she sat quietly in the carriage, listening attentively to the various sounds coming from outside.

At first, only a faint clamor could be heard, but soon the noise grew louder and louder. The initial noise gradually turned into a fierce argument, which intensified until it finally developed into the crisp clanging sound of weapons clashing against each other!

Is this a fight?

Song Yanzhi thought secretly and lifted the curtain to look.

She saw that the guards were holding long swords and fighting fiercely with the bandits from Longhu Mountain.

They were agile and their swords were as fast as dragons. Every time they swung their swords, there was a sharp sound of wind. In an instant, several bandits fell under their swords.

Although there are many people in Longhu Mountain, none of them have received formal training, not to mention the common people who are causing trouble. They are no match for the guards.

Their guards were all carefully selected. If he watched carefully, he would often see one guard beating up several people from Longhu Mountain.

However, the number of bandits was indeed large. They were holding various weapons and rushed towards the convoy frantically.

Some of them brandished broadswords, the blades flashing and looking fierce; others held long spears, the tips of which were like snakes' tongues, stabbing straight at the guards' vital points.

Under the fierce attack of the bandits, many guards were injured and their clothes were stained with blood.
